Perimenopausal Depression Self-Assessment
Focuses on symptoms of perimenopausal depression, including changes in mood, energy, sleep, and physical or cognitive wellbeing.
What this assessment explores
Depression during the menopause transition can look and feel different from depression at other times of life – with physical symptoms like exhaustion, sleep disruption, and body pain sitting alongside mood changes in ways that are often missed or misunderstood. If you're in perimenopause and something has felt off, this assessment was designed specifically for experiences like yours. It explores the full range of symptoms associated with perimenopausal depression, not just the emotional ones. It's built on the MENO-D, the first clinical scale designed specifically to capture depression during the menopause transition.
See the original scaleWhat you can expect
There are 12 questions, and they'll ask you to reflect on how you've been feeling over the past two weeks compared to how you felt before perimenopause began.
The questions touch on things like:
- How you've been feeling about yourself – your self-worth, your mood, your sense of connection
- Changes in libido, energy, and sexual wellbeing
- Physical symptoms like body aches, pain, and weight changes
- Memory and concentration difficulties
- Sleep quality and irritability
Your responses give you a clearer picture of how perimenopausal depression may be showing up for you – across both the physical and emotional dimensions that standard depression measures often miss.
